White cardboard paper gives a clean printing base for branded retail bags. Paper weight, top fold, handle attachment and base reinforcement are reviewed together. The visual appearance of a sample does not establish its carrying capacity.
Kraft for daily carry
Natural brown kraft has a visible fiber character; white kraft gives a lighter printing base. Share the packed weight and expected use before selecting paper and handles. Recycled content should be specified and documented when it is a purchasing requirement.
Rigid board and wrapping paper
Rigid gift boxes use a structural board with an outer paper wrap. The wrap carries the color, texture and logo, while the board and geometry define the structure. Compare the complete construction rather than the wrap alone.
Bakery packaging requirements
State whether food directly touches the box, board, liner or insert. Share the intended market, temperature and storage conditions, and any documentation the buyer needs. Material suitability and supporting evidence are reviewed for the actual finished packaging.
Separate appearance from documentation
A kraft look is not proof of recycled content, and a paper-based structure is not automatic proof of recyclability. Ask for the specific material and documentation that your project requires. Certifications and test reports must be confirmed for the supplied materials and finished specification.
